Abstract
A food display case for displaying pre-cooked food products while preserving them at optimal serving conditions for prolonged periods of time is disclosed. The display case includes an outer housing with a display window, a recessed primary food heating element which evenly distributes heat across the display case, an air circulation system for providing a convective air flow, and a food moisturizing spray for retaining a desired humidified environment within the display case. In addition, a radiating heat lamp is suspended from the top of the display case for providing additional heating within the display case.
